Now onto the fun part!

I adore this tutorial because it gives you creative freedom while providing a how-to.

Materials needed include: sweater, lining fabric, magnetic snap or some other kind of closure, and of course thread. If you don't have an unneeded sweater in your closet, the thrift stores and flea markets are full of them that don't cost much money. The lining fabric can be new or used. Think upcycled linens - as long as they are not too thin!

While this is senders choice, please check your partners profile for colors they just can't stand.

Since this is a new group, I'm making the dates a bit out there in hopes of more people joining. (Plus this gives you time to hunt down a just-right sweater to use.)

I just found two (2) sweaters at my local Goodwill store! Half off and I got my discount! :D I'm going to hold off on putting it together until I get my partner-but one (1) of them is quite neutral, so it would just be the lining fabric for me to worry about. :D
